Tonya was my first cousin. We grew up together, but lost contact several years ago. My heart goes out to BJ. Rest in peace, Tonya.

My dear sweet Tonya how you’re going to be missed by all of us. I first met you all those years ago when you were just a little girl. My David and your daddy Duck were best friends since they were little boys. Alexis, Heath and I spent many a night at your house. Always been so proud of you and I know your daddy and your grandpa and grandmother are all so proud how well you’ve done in life overcoming all the obstacles that you encountered. I know how much you loved your Lulu and Steve and Fran and all your dear friends never saying a bad word about anybody. You were one of a kind and heaven will be ecstatic to have you up there with them. Every time there’s a Razorback game you better be up there calling the Hogs just like always and I know you’ll be right there behind me yelling for them . I love you and will miss you dearly sweet girl but it warms my heart to know that you’ve got that cabin you’ve always wanted.??WPS

I was shocked when I found that Tonya had passed. Then I thought about how at peace she is and no longer in pain. She was always trying to do for others. She was a very special person and we can all learn from her. God decided it was time for her to be a rest. We will miss her, but can rest that we'll see her again someday.
